Steam cloud?

Well ever since Steam came to mac i've been waiting for L4D and L4D2 to come to mac. But as of today theres this new program call'd Steam Cloud. From my guessing of the little information i've found about it, it seems to be like wine. :f6:
Can I buy a steam windows game and steam cloud and play it on my mac?
Or am I completely off...

PLEASE HELP!!! >.<

Isn't...Steam Cloud just part of Steam...?

Steam Cloud

On May 29, 2008, Valve announced their plans to provide Steam users with the ability to store game settings and saves on a central server. This allows users to more easily install Steam on a new computer or play Steam games on multiple computers. In this automatic process, any changes to game files are uploaded to the main server, and newer files are automatically downloaded and used when a game is started.[18] The first game to use this technology was Left 4 Dead; the service may eventually support all Valve games and is already used by other developers selling their games on Steam.[19]

Is that what you're talking about?

but on their website when you go to the mac section they call it a cross over. Thats whats confusing me

It just means you can use your saves/data from a PC on your Mac.

...what do you mean you're disappointed? You're not affected by it in any way.
